Wolves: Stale Solbakken likely to make changes ahead of Posh test

STALE Solbakken made three changes at Ipswich and you can expect a similar number again tomorrow.

STALE Solbakken made three changes at Ipswich and you can expect a similar number again tomorrow.

One certainty is that the back five are unlikely to alter having achieved a valuable clean sheet at Portman Road.

Tongo Doumbia and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and highly likely to step back into the starting XI.

Then it is a question of picking one from three with Dave Edwards, Razak Boukari and Slawomir Peszko battling for a place on the right side of midfield, although Stephen Hunt returned to the bench on Wednesday after a fortnight of illness.

The manager faces a hectic schedule with five games in a 15-day period with two midweek games at Chelsea in the League Cup and at home to Crystal Palace a week later.

He is likely to rest a good many players at Stamford Bridge next Tuesday with Sheffield Wednesday on the horizon. The cup presents an opportunity for Solbakken to run the rule over the great many fringe players who haven’t had much of a look-in so far.

That will include the likes of Frank Nouble, Georg Margreitter, Danny Batth, Kevin Foley, Anthony Forde, David Davis, Dorus de Vries and George Elokobi. Ronald Zubar is also itching to reclaim his right-back berth after losing his place following a poor game at Cardiff.
